Mrs T. A. Olorisha has raised alarm after her house was destroyed in a suspected arson attack in the Isale Koko area of Ilorin, alleging that the incident followed threats she received because of her religious beliefs. The Kwara State Police Command confirmed that the fire occurred on January 1, 2026, at about 7:00 p.m. while Mrs Olorisha was away from home. Police said no life was lost, as the building was empty at the time, while the value of the damaged property is yet to be determined. According to the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Adetoun Ejire-Adeyemi, the incident was reported at about 10:00 p.m. on January 2 at the C Division Police Station, Oja Oba, Ilorin. “The complainant, Mrs T. A. Olorisha, alleged that her house was set ablaze by unknown persons on 1st Jan., 2026, at about 7:00 p.m., while she was away from home,” Ejire-Adeyemi said. She added, “Mrs Olorisha further alleged that she had received threats in November 2025 from some individuals over religious differences, as she is a traditional worshipper.” The police spokesperson said Mrs Olorisha provided investigators with useful information, leading to the invitation and detention of three suspects who are currently assisting with the investigation. Ejire-Adeyemi said efforts are ongoing to arrest other suspected perpetrators, assuring that all allegations will be thoroughly investigated.

APC National Chairman Confirms Rivers Governor Fubara As Party Leader

Wale busari02 mins

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has confirmed Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara as the party’s leader in the state. APC National Chairman Nentawe Yilwatda made the announcement on Friday during Channels Television’s Hard Copy, stating that the party’s constitution gives governors of APC-controlled states the authority to lead the party locally. “In all the states, the governors lead the party in their respective areas,” Yilwatda said, adding that governors are expected to involve all stakeholders—a standard Fubara is already following in Rivers. He also stressed that governors should respect inclusion at the national level. Addressing Fubara’s second-term ambitions, Yilwatda said the party would support him if he emerges as the APC candidate through primaries conducted by duly accredited delegates. “If Siminalayi emerges as the APC candidate in Rivers State, I will stand by him,” he said. The clarification comes amid speculation about party leadership in Rivers State. Fubara defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in December, citing loyalty to President Bola Tinubu. “The truth is, without Mr. President, there wouldn’t be any His Excellency Siminalayi Fubara; it would have been the former governor,” Fubara said. He added, “We have the people, we have the supporters. Our only thank-you to Mr. President is to support him fully. We cannot support the President if we don’t fully identify with him. Today, we have decided: we are moving to APC.”

Anthony Joshua Returns To UK After Fatal Car Crash Claims Two Close Friends

Wale busari04 mins

Former world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua has returned to the United Kingdom after a tragic road accident in Nigeria that claimed the lives of two of his close friends and members of his team. The fatal crash occurred on Monday, December 29, when the Lexus SUV Joshua was travelling in collided with a stationary truck on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway near Makun. The boxer sustained minor injuries and was treated in hospital before being discharged on New Year’s Eve. A BBC report later confirmed that he has since flown back to the UK. Two passengers in the vehicle, Sina Ghami and Latif “Latz” Ayodele, lost their lives in the collision. Their funerals are scheduled to take place on Sunday at the London Central Mosque, according to Sky Sports. The driver, Adeniyi Mobolaji Kayode, 46, has been charged by the Ogun State Police Command with causing death by dangerous driving and driving without a valid licence. He was granted bail in the sum of N5 million, with the case adjourned until January 20 pending the fulfilment of bail conditions. Kayode’s 19-year-old son, Ifeoluwa Adeniyi, has defended his father, claiming the crash was caused by brake failure and an illegally parked truck. He insisted his father was not speeding at the time of the accident and described him as an experienced and careful driver. Kayode’s lawyer, Olalekan Abiodun, revealed that Joshua narrowly escaped death after changing seats shortly before the crash. According to him, Joshua initially sat in the front passenger seat but was asked to move to the back so the driver could have a clearer view of the wing mirror. Latif Ayodele later took the front seat. Joshua was reportedly travelling to Sagamu to visit relatives for New Year celebrations when the accident occurred, just 10 days after his knockout victory over Jake Paul in Miami. Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun and Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu expressed appreciation to the public for their prayers and support and thanked President Bola Tinubu for his intervention. Both state governments also commiserated with the families of the deceased, describing the incident as deeply painful and unfortunate. Police investigations into the circumstances surrounding the crash are still ongoing.

US Takes Temporary Control Of Venezuela After Capture Of President Nicolás Maduro

Wale busari02 mins

President Donald Trump has announced that the United States will temporarily oversee Venezuela’s affairs following the capture of President Nicolás Maduro. Speaking during an NBC News special report, Trump stated, “We are going to run the country until a safe, proper, and judicious transition. We don’t want to be involved in someone else getting in with the same situation.” He stressed that U.S. involvement would only last until a legitimate transition of power is achieved. Although no timeline was provided, Trump said the intervention is aimed at ensuring stability and an orderly transfer of authority to new Venezuelan leadership. The announcement followed what Trump described as a major U.S. military operation in Caracas late Friday night and early Saturday, carried out under his direct authorization. “Overwhelming air, land, and sea forces were used to launch a spectacular assault,” he said in a separate White House address, adding that it was a strike unlike anything “people haven’t seen since World War II.” According to Trump, the operation targeted a heavily fortified military stronghold in the heart of the Venezuelan capital to bring what he described as the “outlaw dictator,” Nicolás Maduro, to justice. Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, were captured during the operation. Both are expected to be transferred to the Southern District of New York, where they will face multiple charges, including narco-terrorism conspiracy, cocaine importation conspiracy, and possession of machine guns and destructive devices.

Nigerian Army Arrests Mastermind Behind North-East Suicide Bombings

Wale busari03 mins

Troops of the Nigerian Army under Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK) have apprehended Shariff Umar, also known as Yusuf, identified as the mastermind behind a suicide bombing network responsible for recent attacks in the North-East, including the Maiduguri mosque bombing. The military said the arrest followed intelligence-led cordon-and-search operations at Kalmari, Maiduguri, on December 31, which resulted in the detention of 14 individuals linked to suicide attacks. Investigations have since revealed the network’s structure, key roles, and operational links. A suspected suicide bomber in custody, Ibrahim Muhammad, named Umar as the ringleader who recruited, trained, and dispatched suicide attackers to their targets. “Consistent and corroborated statements revealed that Shariff Umar coordinated logistics and the delivery of improvised explosive device (IED) components for suicide attacks,” the Army stated. Umar was confirmed to have directed the suicide bombing at the Gamboru Market Mosque on December 24, 2025, in which his accomplice, Adamu, detonated a suicide vest and died. He was also tied to a foiled attack in Damaturu, personally handing IED components to the would-be bomber in Maiduguri. Further investigations implicated Umar’s wife, Yagana Modu, while his stepdaughter, Amina, confirmed seeing the suspected bomber at their home prior to the attack. The Army said these findings exposed how terrorist facilitators use domestic and community networks to conceal their operations. All suspects remain in custody and are undergoing intensive investigations aimed at dismantling the network, identifying other collaborators, and recovering any remaining explosives or logistical materials. The military highlighted that the operation underscores the need for close cooperation between security agencies and civilians, warning that terrorist networks often survive by hiding within communities. Citizens were urged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities, stressing that sustained cooperation is vital to preventing attacks and ensuring lasting peace in the region.

Wale busari03 mins

Mc Fish has finally spoken out following his breakup with actress Anita Joseph, addressing the rumors and criticisms that have trailed their split. Taking to social media, he dismissed online chatter, saying it “doesn’t move me” and challenging anyone with claims to confront him directly. He expressed frustration at people assuming they know his story without ever meeting him, warning that lies will be exposed. Reflecting on his five-year marriage, Mc Fish insisted he played a key role, both financially and professionally. “Fine marriage no work again, and the next thing woman dey feed me. I dare her to say she took care of the bills by herself in the 5 years of that marriage,” he said. He added that he helped Anita set up her business, manage her social media monetization, and even handled her security and protocol arrangements, despite being labeled a “gold digger” by some. He also defended his career as a hypeman, criticizing those who insult the profession publicly yet hire hypemen for events. “If there was no future in the job, una so-called legendary actress no go put body… enough of trying to slander me by my profession,” he stated. He even warned that those mocking his work may see their children follow similar paths: “I prophesy that your children and children’s children will all be hypemen/MCs… but in Jesus name, Aşe gun.” Mc Fish made it clear he will no longer engage with baseless online criticism, calling detractors “riff raffs” and urging that only genuine concerns be brought to him. He ended his post by reaffirming his contributions to the marriage and trusting in karma: “An Igbo woman stayed in marriage with me for 5 years, and you clowns think she would stay if I’m not holding my weight… Well I no even vex again as dem arrest the weyrey wey talk that thing, my karma strong.” Through his message, Mc Fish is standing firm, defending his reputation, and signaling that he is ready to move forward on his own terms.
